Quick question- What is AVRT? I am not sure I have heard that before?

Thanks
AVRT = Addictive Voice Recognition Technique


Google Rational Recovery.

It is a very straightforward technique for quitting drinking, and deviates a fair bit from other recovery methods. In a nutshell, once you decide to stop drinking, and once you decide not to change your mind about this, then you're recovered. That's it.

I think the important thing though with AVRT is that just because you've recovered from drinking doesn't mean you've recovered as a damaged human being. That's when the hard work really begins - quitting drinking is surprisingly easy compared to turning yourself inside out then wringing it out.
